"Lin Yang, instruct me to suppress my Gu's directly, don't give me any face."

"When the Gu's is down, bring Mother Gu to the sanatorium to settle down. Gu Xiangjun, take her back." Jiang Mochuan didn't even spare his father a glance as he went around his father and returned back to the office. Then, he flipped through the information regarding the Gu's family.

"CEO, it's obviously already …"

"We can't involve innocent people, and Madam won't agree." Lin Yang was a little surprised. Her change was not only as she had imagined, it had even become softer.

There was no other way, Jiang Mochuan was his boss, whatever Jiang Mochuan ordered, he would go and do it himself.

Lin Yang replied and left the office.

"Director Gu, I still can't find any trace of Miss Gu."

"Trash... You're all a bunch of trash." Father Gu's secretary walked into his office and reported.

Sure enough, all he received was Father Gu's insults.

The secretary pouted inside.

"Gu Xiangjun's temper is famous for being bad, and her heart is also famous for being bad. No matter how many people want to deal with her, it's simply not something that can be counted with a single finger."

After the secretary left the office, Father Gu was left alone in the office, looking at the ceiling gloomily. "Oh, Xiang Jun, where the hell are you?"

"If something happens to you, how am I supposed to explain it to your mother?" Father Gu stared at the ceiling, his heart filled with infinite melancholy.

Although Gu Xiangjun had done many wrong things, she was still his daughter.

[Sigh ~ Did you guys hear? I heard that the decline in the company's shares this time around has a lot to do with Eldest Miss.]

[Where did you hear this gossip from? I heard that Eldest Miss was sent abroad by Boss Gu a while ago. How could there be any relationship?]

[You probably don't know this, there are many inside stories behind this.]

[That's right, I even heard my friend say that Eldest Miss had snuck back from overseas and specially went to attend a banquet to set a trap for someone else's wife. She probably offended someone whom Boss Gu doesn't dare to offend, which is why our company's stock has fallen so much.]

[I don't care about that. What I do care about is if the company continues to decline, will we be able to get a salary when the time comes?]

Just like this, a discussion on the rumours and facts that appeared in Gu's was deduced by a group of 'detectives' from the commoners.

"Chen Xi?" Chen Xi was bored at home, no matter what, he would drive to the market and take a look.

But after walking for not long, he was stopped by someone: "Xiao Ruo?"

"Sister Chen Xi, it's really you."

"I thought I was mistaken." The girl called Xiao Ruo made sure that she recognized Chen Xi correctly, and immediately went in front of Chen Xi and said happily.

"Xiao Ruo, you also came to shop?" Chen Xi looked at Xiao Ruo in front of him, and his heart had also become a lot more relaxed now.

"That's right, Sister Chen Xi, where are you working now?" Xiao Ruo looked at Chen Xi, and within his smile, the warmth was similar to meeting a family member he had not seen for many years.

"I went abroad a few years ago. I've only recently returned home and haven't been able to find a job yet."

"Are you still working in the Witch Council?" Chen Xi did not tell Xiao Ruo about his current situation.

Xiao Ruo seemed to be one or two years younger than him. In the past, when he was still young, he had been working as a waitress in the restaurants and coffee shops outside the school since junior high school. Xiao Ruo would generally go to his work shop to drink coffee every night.

However, every time Chen Xi saw Xiao Ruo, he was always drunk.

Furthermore, Xiao Ruo's night still went at two or three in the morning on the second day after every day.

One time when Xiao Ruo went to drink coffee, he went with a few guys. To be more precise, Xiao Ruo went into the coffee shop by himself, while those guys followed Xiao Ruo in.

Just as he was about to rush over to Chen Xi's place to bring out some trash for the coffee shop, Xiao Ruo walked out of the washroom at the same time. Xiao Ruo pulled Chen Xi's hand and told him to save him.

From that night, Chen Xi realized that he had always thought that Xiao Ruo who worked in a bar did that kind of work.

However, this did not affect Chen Xi's opinion of Xiao Ruo at all. After all, they had never met before, and Chen Xi had quite the impression of Xiao Ruo visiting the shop every night to drink coffee.

Ever since that night, Xiao Ruo would still go to that coffee shop every night to drink coffee. But he would usually order two cups, one for himself and one for Chen Xi.

Then, one time, the owner of the coffee shop where Chen Xi was at was suppressed by Tian Fangping and had no choice but to fire Chen Xi. Chen Xi didn't even have time to bid farewell before he left the coffee shop.

"I'm still over there. There's nothing I can do, it's just that I want to live." Xiao Ruo laughed bitterly when he heard Chen Xi's words.

"Sister Chen Xi, come take a seat at my house, I'll cook for you."

"I've known you for so long, but we haven't had a proper chat over dinner." Xiao Ruo's emotions disappeared just as quickly as she said it.

In order to not affect Chen Xi's mood, Xiao Ruo invited him to his house with a smile.

"Well, I happen to have nothing to do today."

"Oh right, Xiao Ruo, do you have any elders in your family? Let me buy some gifts for them." Chen Xi happily accepted Xiao Ruo's invitation.

"Aiya, why are you being so polite with me?"

"Let's have a meal and chat. I-I don't want to waste money outside. Can't we have a quiet place to talk in private?" Xiao Ruo didn't know whether to laugh or cry. From the moment he had met Chen Xi, Xiao Ruo had held a sort of affection for the leader's sister.

"Sister Chen Xi, is this your car?"

"You're so rich, why did you have to work as a temporary worker in the first place?" The two girls bought some food at the market. Once they were out of the market, Chen Xi brought Xiao Ruo in the direction of his own car.

Seeing Martha in front of him, Xiao Ruo was stunned.

He had always thought that Chen Xi was the same as him, that she had chosen to come out to work because her family was not well off.

Chen Xi's family's conditions could be seen from the way Chen Xi sat. It was not simple at all.

"Alright Ang, my dad bought it for me. I've stayed overseas for a few years and got an A + exam. Anyway, our family's situation is very troublesome, so I'll tell you about it when I have time." Chen Xi laughed, he did not feel any discomfort from Xiao Ruo's exaggerated emotions.

Reaching Xiao Ruo's house, Chen Xi turned and looked at the girl sitting in the front passenger seat.

In his memories, although the work Xiao Ruo did was not proper work, he still knew that Xiao Ruo's income was always pretty good.

Why did he live in a residential building with his own building?

"Sister Chen Xi, I've let you watch such a joke."

"Xiao Ruo, if ~ I say, if I can help you, are you willing to leave your job?" Xiao Ruo held the dishes in his hands and walked shoulder to shoulder with Chen Xi.

Chen Xi suddenly realised that he could not quite understand the Xiao Ruo in front of him. Although he knew that Xiao Ruo was younger than him, Chen Xi always felt that he was able to see a different kind of maturity within Xiao Ruo.

That kind of maturity was not the kind that most people matured over time.

What Chen Xi saw in him was the kind of maturity that had to be changed due to the pressure of the living environment.
